Dear Chairman Obey and Ranking Member Lewis,

I am requesting funding for the Brick PAL After-School and Kids Camp Program
in the FYIO Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies. The
entity to receive funding for this project is Brick Township Police Athletic League,
located at 60 Drum Point Road, Brick, NJ 08723. It is my understanding that the funding
would be used to provide quality after-school and summer programs for at-risk kids. I
certify that this project does not have a direct and foreseeable effect on financial interests
of my spouse or me.

I hereby certify that this request will be made publicly available on my Official
Website as required by Chairman Obey's new Committee policy that only posted
requests will be considered.

Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I hereby certify

that to the best of my knowledge this request (I) is not directed to an entity or program
that will be named after a sitting Member of Congress; (2) is not intended to be used by
an entity to secure funds for other entities unless the use of funding is consistent with the
specified purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets or exceeds all statutory requirements for
matching funds where applicable. I further certify that should this request be included in
the bill, I will place a statement in the Congressional Record describing how the funds
will be spent and justifying the use of federal taxpayer funds.

Sin~ely, c-
(/(;;e.7)17(.Cd
